[rigid valve]

https://kbdfans.com/products/pink-and-blue-cherry-profile-dye-sub-keycaps-set?_pos=1&_sid=bbe94331a&_ss=r

[timber ridge]

[royal sandal]

ayyyyy lance

[rigid valve]

ok

[royal sandal]

whaddup dude

[timber ridge]

ooo ur back

[steep pelican]

Deathadder v2 probably a good choice

[rigid valve]

consider Razer Basilisk

[timber ridge]

hi sara

[rigid valve]

Deathadderv2 as well

[royal sandal]

hai lance

[thick tartan]

ah tkc rip

[royal sandal]

people actually recommend razer here?

[rigid valve]

why wouldnt we

[timber ridge]

thats claw then

[royal sandal]

I thought people here just crapped on razer

[thick tartan]

nah

[rigid valve]

nope

[thick tartan]

razer is lit

[steep pelican]

Only razer keeb

[royal sandal]

well they make good mice I guess but their keebs and headphones suck

[rigid valve]

p much

[thick tartan]

ofc

[timber ridge]

if you use palm then i recommend the origin one x

[bronze terrace]

hi

[timber ridge]

if its claw then jus get a x1mr

[thick tartan]

imagine buying a membrane keeb

[unique sundial]

thank you @rigid valve

[royal sandal]

cries in razer Cynosa Chroma

[rigid valve]

anytime

[thick tartan]

[rigid valve]

Cynosa isnt horrible

ive used it b4

[royal sandal]

yes it is

[rigid valve]

could be much worse

[royal sandal]

you cannot tell me otherwise

[timber ridge]

have any of you guys bought new kbs since i left?

[royal sandal]

this thing is absolute [EXPLETIVE EXPUNGED]

[thick tartan]

nah

i have my tofu in my cart

[lunar ridge]

do guys think the razer viper ultimate is good?

[rigid valve]

yes

[thick tartan]

just waiting on a final cap decision

[bronze terrace]

cries in realization that he spent 250$ for a keyboard

[royal sandal]

what?

[timber ridge]

rvu shape is very meh

[royal sandal]

no it was like $50 at bb lol

[rigid valve]

i had an argument with these 3 dudes who siad that Holy Pandas are stupid overpriced and that Feker Pandas were the same thing just cheaper

and i got so pissed

[timber ridge]

and optical clicks are also meh but its not bad

[bronze terrace]

i bought apex pro

[thick tartan]

cringe

[bronze terrace]

thats what i was reffering to

[rigid valve]

Holy Pandas are expensive but they aren't overpriced

[unique sundial]

@rustic hill111 recommended the Keychron K8 but I'm going with the K6 keyboard which I think is a great price and a great fit for what I'm looking for ❤️

[rigid valve]

imo

Bobas bump just isnt the same

even though everyone says so

[bronze terrace]

is steelseries arctris 7 any good?
reviews say it is good

[thick tartan]

i think im linear gang now

[royal sandal]

oh lol

[thick tartan]

banana splits are fire

[timber ridge]

hp might be overpriced sooner or later with all the new switches that are being made lol

[bronze terrace]

yep

[rigid valve]

for a wireless gaming headset it's a wireless gaming headset

[bronze terrace]

ok

[rigid valve]

they'll still have a place in the clout train

[thick tartan]

headsets suck

[rigid valve]

along with tangies and unlubed nk creams

[timber ridge]

ye

[bronze terrace]

would you say arctis 7 or logitech g935???

[rigid valve]

neither since wireless headsets generally suck

but yeah

[thick tartan]

lmfao

[bronze terrace]

yes what?

[timber ridge]

if youre gonna get a wireless headset then try to get a newer one

older ones have garbo mics

[bronze terrace]

i have a 200$ gift card for staples...

[rigid valve]

yes no

[bronze terrace]

yes no what? actiuis7 or g935

[rigid valve]

neither

[bronze terrace]

if you had to choose

[thick tartan]

staples is gonna op their headset so bad lol

[rigid valve]

i would save

lmao

[thick tartan]

i would save too

[bronze terrace]

for...?

[timber ridge]

get a hyken mesh from staples lol

[thick tartan]

spend ur 200 on like an office chair or something idk

[bronze terrace]

i alr have a gaming chair

[timber ridge]

exactly

wait staples actually has decent gamingheadsets

[thick tartan]

theres not much u can really do with a staples gift card

[bronze terrace]

some.

[thick tartan]

buy a printer?

[bronze terrace]

WHY?

[steep pelican]

To print things

[bronze terrace]

weally?

[thick tartan]

cause buying a headset from staples is dumb

[timber ridge]

you can get one of the sennheiser gaming headsets

[thick tartan]

yes really

staples is so bad that i click on computer head sets

and it brings up the hyken mesh LOL

nothing else

[timber ridge]

the logitech g935 is such a scam lmao

[thick tartan]

both of his choices are

[timber ridge]

g935 worse

its like 2012 rebranded garb

[thick tartan]

lmfaoo

spend like 20 bucks on apple earbuds

theyre better than both ur options

and save up for something better than the 3 i guess

[timber ridge]

g935 basically a g933

jus "updated"

[thick tartan]

thats like all logitech is now tbh

they rebranded their g pro too

well i wouldnt say rebranded but ye

[timber ridge]

superlight is really good tho

easily like top 3 mice rn

[thick tartan]

yes it is

i do agree with tht

[daring zenith]

price tho

[thick tartan]

i already have an orochi so

thing is abeast

[daring zenith]

ya

[timber ridge]

top 2 mice are 150+

unless you put the orochi v2 over the gpx

[bronze terrace]

@rigid valve well what is a good wired headset then?

[rigid valve]

HyperX Cloud II or Cloud Alpha

Might have em at staples

[sturdy sinew]

staples is still a thing?

[rigid valve]

Apparently

[timber ridge]

staples has a lot of sennheiser headsets surprisingly

[rigid valve]

Bizarre

[sturdy sinew]

they do?

[timber ridge]

ye

[sturdy sinew]

damn

[bronze terrace]

srry 4 all da pings but is my 30$ amazon wired headset better than a wireless one?

[rigid valve]

Depends on which wireless one
Adn which amazon headset

[bronze terrace]

am i better of to gte a 980 500gb and the g502

https://www.amazon.ca/havit-Microphone-Computer-Nintendo-H2010d/dp/B086QPQVPB/ref=sr_1_27?dchild=1&keywords=gaming+headset&qid=1624931162&refinements=p_36%3A-4000&rnid=12035759011&sr=8-27

[rigid valve]

Idk anything about those

[bronze terrace]

so am i better off to get an nvme and a g502 lightspeed?

[rigid valve]

If you get an nvme don’t get a 980

[bronze terrace]

well whatever

970 evo

[rigid valve]

It’s stupid expensive for speed you likely don’t need

[bronze terrace]

well so should i get a headset or a mouse and something else?

[rigid valve]

Pilot-E 500gb is $68, if ur gonna get an nvme get that

[bronze terrace]

not from staples?

[rigid valve]

Idk anything that from staples

You’re gonna need someone else to help

[bronze terrace]

ok

[steep pelican]

@bronze terrace if you can get senheiser headset get that

[royal sandal]

Curious what the new opinions here are

I have $200 or so to spend

I want to get a new audio setup, preferably with a DAC

[daring zenith]

schiit stack

[royal sandal]

My budget is slightly flexible

What do y’all recommend

[daring zenith]

What headphones do you have atm?

[steep pelican]

I assume by audio setup they mean headphone and dac

[rigid valve]

Sad

Sac

Dac

[steep pelican]

Uh uh ur moms a dac roasted

[royal sandal]

Razer Kraken Ultimate

Nothing else

[rigid valve]

That’s gonna change

[royal sandal]

TUF X570 also

[daring zenith]

yea ok

why can't zen dac be back to 120$ :(

[royal sandal]

Again, slightly flexible

[rigid valve]

I would go CAL/K361s with a Modi to stay at 200
Or get Zen with CAL/K361s and that’s like $250
Or Zen and K371s which is like $300
Or Schiit Stack and K371s which is like $350

Zen and K371s is what vintage has right now
Seems to be more than satisfied with it

[daring zenith]

modi on it's own is a bit weird

[rigid valve]

Ok

Will keep in mind

Thx

I’m tempted to get that renewed pair of K371s off Amazon for $115

[daring zenith]

I'm not too sure how it even works when you have it on its own tbh

[rigid valve]

But for some reason my parents are super anti-used/renewed/refurb stuff

And idk if they’ll even let me get it

[daring zenith]

I mean, it makes a bit of sense to be anti-renewed/used for 'high tech' stuff

[timber ridge]

jus wait for a sale

it drops to 99 sometimes

[rigid valve]

Oh

[daring zenith]

and yea wasn't it like 99 prime day

[timber ridge]

im not sure

but ive seen it go on sale a few times

[steep pelican]

Rip I feel bad for you, if I want something and I can buy it, I can just use my debit card and don’t need parents approval

[rigid valve]

K371s didn’t get a discount on prime day I checked like 3 times lol
Was so desperate for one

[daring zenith]

hm

I swear it was on a sale

maybe it was k361

[rigid valve]

It might’ve had a flash sale

I was not there for it

[rigid valve]

Ness is a full grown man with debit card

Dayum

[steep pelican]

I mean my 9 year old brother has one…

[rigid valve]

Nice

[steep pelican]

It’s just this weird debit card for kids

[rigid valve]

So is it just parents load them up intermittently and you have funds

[steep pelican]

Well I mean I don’t get an allowance

[rigid valve]

Spend on clothes supplies stuff

[rigid valve]

Me2

[steep pelican]

Spend on clothes, that’s funny. You know I’m just dropping hundreds on keyboards

[rigid valve]

lmao

[daring zenith]

lol

[rigid valve]

My household is set up interestingly in terms of the children receiving funds
Parents take care of essentials like school stuff and clothes food etc no question
The rest we sort of earn, but not like in the money sense
It’s like in video games where you have to obtain a certain standing with factions to get stuff

[steep pelican]

Only problem is now my mom found the only punishment that really gets to me is taking away money so she just removes 1-5 dollars if I do something wrong and then I cry since that’s my keeb money

[rigid valve]

lmao

[steep pelican]

Same actually, except my mom is anti electronics tbh so anything related to that we have to save up money for ourselves or wait till birthday/Christmas

[rigid valve]

Ah

[steep pelican]

Also the factions thing makes no sense to me but whatever

[rigid valve]

lo

L

Lol

[steep pelican]

Bruh I always hear about the kids at school who can just go up to their parents and ask for some video game or console or a new phone and their parents will just get it

It annoys me sometimes

[royal sandal]

So K361 and Zen?

[rigid valve]

K361s have a sort of bright sound and Zendac is a good dac all around

It’s a good combo imo

[rigid valve]

poor person problems
In all honesty though that’s how you get kids with no concept of work

[royal sandal]

Yep

And then there’s people like me who are worked like slaves

[rigid valve]

😎

[steep pelican]

It’s not poor person problems lol I’m at least in the top 25 richest families who have students at my high school

[rigid valve]

Was joooke omg

[daring zenith]

I mean

the rich students I know are the ones so rich they have 5 figures in their own accounts

[steep pelican]

Well I’m not that rich lol

Mostly because my parents are not very excessive spenders

And they don’t give me any money for just existing

[rigid valve]

W h a t

The rich students I know are the ones so rich they can bring Razer krakens to school instead of earbuds

[daring zenith]

...

[steep pelican]

The rich kids I’ve seen are the ones that flex they are going to get 3090

[daring zenith]

yea...

[rigid valve]

And yes I’m aware that’s like a $50 headset

[steep pelican]

Or they pull up in tricked out mustang

[daring zenith]

there's some people whose family I feel like are definitely millionaires

not sure ofc, but it's just

[steep pelican]

So far attempts to get parents to give me Tesla for first car are unsuccessful

[daring zenith]

tesla first car is kinda very big step

[steep pelican]

True

[rigid valve]

The Model 3 is not much more expensive than other cars and easily the safest car in the price range. If you parents have a charger in the garage it will be ezpz to charge yours

And y0u won’t be affected by hiking gas prices

imo it’s a stretch

But doable

[steep pelican]

Yeah my idea was my dad give me his model 3, he gets model x or s and ez

[daring zenith]

it's usually like the 3k usd used car for the first car yaknow...

[rigid valve]

Yeah

[daring zenith]

not 30k

[rigid valve]

But I mean
To each family their own spending choice

[steep pelican]

Here comes in the difference between other rich parents and my parents, they aren’t going to do it lol, they’ll probably get me a entry level Toyota or something

[daring zenith]

ofc, but yea

[rigid valve]

My parents were thinkin bout a truck for me

[sharp kindle]

Good American made Ford F-150

[rigid valve]

Since my dad has a sedan and my mom an SUV

[wanton burrow]

[glass bear]

bro same

i didnt really want to move either

i was pretty happy with the current house but my dad was not

i dont really mind moving but its kind of a pain

[steep pelican]

What my dad isn’t happy with is the tax bill this year lol

[glass bear]

BRO MY DAD WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT TOO

like literally right on the way back from the park he says

"taxes next january are going to be real ugly"

[steep pelican]

True tho

I would be sad too if I had to give 1 mil to the government

[glass bear]

facts

[rigid valve]

big facts

[frosty hazel]

Anyone have a recommendation for a solid tkl keyboard

[rigid valve]

What budget

and what country are you located in

[frosty hazel]

Like 70 ish bucks in the US

[rigid valve]

Keychron C1

[frosty hazel]

Thats funny I was looking at that and figured I'd ask that or some akko one lol

[timber ridge]

c1 too good for the price

[frosty hazel]

Are the color keys the same as cherrys

[rigid valve]

you mean Red vs Brown vs Blue right?

Yeah they the same

[frosty hazel]

Yea ok sweet! I might have to get one for me Atwell lmao

Thanks guys!

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/o4lbrz/tm680_with_flcmmk_pink_holy_pandas/

this is a clean board

[rigid valve]

ah yes

the 680

with a knob that doesnt actually work as a knob

[thick tartan]

idk what u mean

knobs are just for asthetics duh

[rigid valve]

duh

[thick tartan]

[rigid valve]

[thick tartan]

never seent that layout tho honest to god

[rigid valve]

yeah its not common

[timber ridge]

saw that kit on taobao a while back

[rigid valve]

its not great

[timber ridge]

isnt it like 50 bucks too

cant expect much from it

[rigid valve]

useless knob though

bm68 way better

[timber ridge]

ye

[sturdy sinew]

how would one fix spacebar rattle without taking apart my entire keyboard? I have screw in stabs

[queen sigil]

you dont

you need to access the back of the PCB nad have the switch removed

[sturdy sinew]

The switch?

[queen sigil]

the keyboard switch

[daring zenith]

p sure if they're screw in, you have to take every switch out and then get to the back of the pcb to unscrew and mod them

[sturdy sinew]

Goody

[steep pelican]

Yeah, it’s slightly unfortunate

[thick tartan]

i wish i could get noels and or vaporwave

ggs looking for keycaps

[rigid valve]

Ok ok ok

If you could have one keycap set

What would it be

[thick tartan]

from the 2?

or in genreal

[rigid valve]

In genreal

[thick tartan]

GMK analog dreams r2

[steep pelican]

Hmm if I get q1 what decent stabs should I invest in

[rigid valve]

I mean
Everyone rec Durock/Everglide

A set is like $20 from kinetic labs

[thick tartan]

^

or you can get durock ones on amazon for like same price too

[steep pelican]

Cool

Do those come unlubed

[thick tartan]

yes

next time i do a theme around my setup im doing less cancer color choices

[steep pelican]

XD

[sharp kindle]

Those are v1 iirc

So wire popping issues

[queen sigil]

SHUTUP WANGSON

[thick tartan]

no theyre v2s

[queen sigil]

lol

[thick tartan]

you can look them up

[sharp kindle]

Mb that’s lit

[rigid valve]

Amazon has some decent keeb stuff now which is nice

You could do a full build off of it

[queen sigil]

wwangsone more like dumb son

[rigid valve]

Facts

[thick tartan]

dude keebmech rn is huge its insane

[rigid valve]

Keebs blew up 90% cuz of glarses pewdiepie keeb vid

Which isn’t good imo

Lots of kids on tiktok being kids on tiktok

[sharp kindle]

inb4 gk61x with Akko cs switches and hkgaming

[thick tartan]

i think its more so from ppl working from home

[rigid valve]

Gk61x with Durock L linears and Mistel

😎

[rigid valve]

Completely ignores the 2M+ views on glarses vid

It was mostly yt which is why you have a LOT of kids coming in rec’ing NK creams

From yaboi Taeha

[thick tartan]

2m isnt nothing compared to more than half the worlds population working form home since the pandemic

[sharp kindle]

This is so damn stupid

Both were factors

[thick tartan]

im sure the vid did introduce ppl i wont deny that but

[rigid valve]

And the normal stuff “you can use Vaseline instead of dielectric grease” “tangies and holy pandas are only good things” etc

[sharp kindle]

It’s not a damn competition

[queen sigil]

VASELINE GOOD LOOBE SQUASHY BOI SAID SO

[rigid valve]

This is true, however keyboards weren’t that popular untillllll ~1 month ago

Actually more like 1.5 or 2 now

[neon quartz]

Wangson#2343 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sharp kindle]

BRUH

[rigid valve]

:p

[queen sigil]

ez kid

[sharp kindle]

Anyways they aren’t comparable

[queen sigil]

i mean old man

[rigid valve]

SPRAY LUUUUUUUUUUBE

Did you guys see how fast the frog sold out lmao

[sharp kindle]

10 seconds for wkl

[rigid valve]

Yes

[thick tartan]

spray lube is actually so bad

[sharp kindle]

But cancellation restock soon

[queen sigil]

oh it was FCFS\

[sharp kindle]

Ye

[queen sigil]

if it was raffle i totally wouldve gotten one

im 1 for 1 on raffles

ez

[rigid valve]

Yes

The entire stock was sold out in under 30sec

But yeah cancellations

And monthly restock 👀

[steep pelican]

How much was the frog

[rigid valve]

Dunno

[sharp kindle]

289 no pcb

[rigid valve]

Didn’t pay much attention to it

[sharp kindle]

iirc

[rigid valve]

Oh that’s

That’s p good

TKL is such a weird layout to shop for

There’s this massive gap

[steep pelican]

P good but still crazy to me lol

[rigid valve]

Yep

[sharp kindle]

Nk87ee is promising

I think it’s gasket mount

[queen sigil]

yes

i think\

[sharp kindle]

According to mikes “update video” on insta

[queen sigil]

@sharp kindle my 4 osu keys feel noticeable smoother than everything else

[sharp kindle]

Ok

[steep pelican]

My goal is to get one regular board that I like, then one weird Alice 40% or something

[rigid valve]

I know a guy if you’re shopping for Alice 40%

[steep pelican]

Like someone who designed one or someone who’s selling one

[queen sigil]

hmm alice 27

[rigid valve]

Someone who’s obsessed with split boards

[queen sigil]

i wanna see that

[rigid valve]

And 40%s

[sharp kindle]

If you’re getting Alice because it’s “ergonomic” don’t

[queen sigil]

actually it probs exists

[sharp kindle]

It’s not ergonomic

[rigid valve]

It is if you have columnar stagger

[queen sigil]

no u get alice to make people think its ergonomic

[rigid valve]

^

[queen sigil]

because it looks ergonomic to people who havent used it

[rigid valve]

Split layouts take a lot of getting used to

But can be more comfortable

[queen sigil]

i dont like typing on alice

but they look cool so whatever

[tight pulsar]

alice is ergonomic for some people and not for others

[steep pelican]

Nah I’m getting it cause it looks different and crazy cause I show people a regular board and there are just like: “my 5 dollar membrane does the same thing why do you need that smh” but an Alice people would be impressed maybe

[rigid valve]

If you’re going for impressive then get a split

Get an ergodox and convince people it’s actually ergonomic

OR

[sharp kindle]

Get a corne

Or something

[rigid valve]

If you wanna impress all the kids at school get a Tofu60 and tell them it’s some fancy GB board

[sharp kindle]

Wait get a gherkin

And use iso enter

[rigid valve]

eek

ISO

[sharp kindle]

That’s the meme

[steep pelican]

Nobody even knows what a tofu is at my school

[rigid valve]

Ok

[steep pelican]

At least no one I’ve found

[rigid valve]

Ok ok ok I got it

Get a kbd67 lite
And tell them it’s super thocky cuz it is

[queen sigil]

@sharp kindle i prefer that indian enter thing

[rigid valve]

And then sell it for $200 since it’s thocky so it must be good

[sharp kindle]

God I hate the word thock

[steep pelican]

Bro I wish I could get 200 for my kbd67 lite

[sharp kindle]

I want to ban the word thock in glorious but I don’t have perms to blacklist words

[queen sigil]

[queen sigil]

EXTREME iso

[sharp kindle]

BAE

Big ass enter

Wait why is ass not filtered

Wack

[rigid valve]

You might be able to

Since it’s currently oos

[thick tartan]

you definitely can get 200 for lite

[sharp kindle]

Does that thing type bold text only

[thick tartan]

especially since its oos

[queen sigil]

yes it it changes ur computer font too

[sharp kindle]

R2 shipping soon

[thick tartan]

id put it up on like ebay, offer up etc

soon tm

if it went oos that fast r2 is gonna be nothing

[steep pelican]

Soon because it’ll go down in value

?

[thick tartan]

huh?

no im saying soon to something else

[steep pelican]

Oh lol

[thick tartan]

i think u can get away with 200

the board itself is more than a tofu 60

[rigid valve]

Better mount, better sound (sorta)

[steep pelican]

Do you think it’ll be fine if I wait to sell until I order q1 at least or maybe wait till it arrives

[thick tartan]

yes

that thing wont have stock problems

[rigid valve]

It might tbh

[steep pelican]

I mean wait to sell my keeb until I order q1

[thick tartan]

im pretty sure youll be fine waiting

[rigid valve]

Oh yeah you should be fine

[steep pelican]

K cool

[thick tartan]

ur not waiting for a gpu

lmfao

[tight pulsar]

man nobody has a random crp ansi enter laying around lmao

[rigid valve]

Wuh

[hollow flower]

What it be a good idea to replace the stabs, switches and install mill max sockets into my Drop ENTR that’s coming this Thursday?

[rigid valve]

Stabs yes
Switches maybe
Millmax eh

[tight pulsar]

millmaxing a pcb that was already soldered isn't very fun

[hollow flower]

Why eh?

[rigid valve]

Millmax is somewhat unstable, at least from what I’ve heard

[faint helm]

has anyone tried this ? 😂

[rigid valve]

If you solder on switches that you’re sure to like for a long time that would be more worth

[tight pulsar]

if there's even the tiniest bit of solder left in the hole you can't fit the socket in and it takes some effort to get it out with a solder sucker

[rigid valve]

I cannot say that I have 🤣

[faint helm]

I'm planning on trying that 👀

[tight pulsar]

almost lifted several pads trying to get solder out when i was millmaxing a pcb

[rigid valve]

Also millmax is not exactly cheap from what I’ve seen

[tight pulsar]

it's pretty cheap

[hollow flower]

Is there anyway I could try out U4Ts easily?

[rigid valve]

nachos you have like 2.5k in keyboard everything is cheap

[thick tartan]

could get a switch tester

[tight pulsar]

no it was only $25ish shipped for enough sockets for my alice board

[rigid valve]

Oh

[rigid valve]

I guess all you could do would be like
Get them as part of a tester pack or just buy them

[glass bear]

How do I remove keys

With stabilizers

I'm tryna clean underneath and it's tuff

[queen sigil]

@tight pulsar have u lubed ur browns yet

[rigid valve]

Remove the keycap?

[hollow flower]

It’d cost about $52 without tax for exactly 174 sockets

[rigid valve]

Fingies

[thick tartan]

lmfao

[glass bear]

Yeah

The keycap I mean

lol

[hollow flower]

Keycap puller?

[glass bear]

no the ones with stabilizers

[thick tartan]

just pop them out with a puller

[glass bear]

I have a puller

[hollow flower]

One side, then the other

[glass bear]

Do I just pull really hard

[hollow flower]

At least that’s how I did it

[rigid valve]

imo if you find a really great switch and solder it would be more worth but up to you in the end

[tight pulsar]

no not yet

[rigid valve]

You can just, pull it off

With your fingers even

[glass bear]

Oh hey

[tight pulsar]

where are you ordering from?

[thick tartan]

i hope u dont have a membrane keyboard

[glass bear]

Ok yeah that's good

[glass bear]

No I have gateron reds

[thick tartan]

ok

good

[glass bear]

I did it with fingers

[queen sigil]

[glass bear]

I was afraid I was breaking something lol

[queen sigil]

how much longer u gonna break them in for

[rigid valve]

Yeah literally just take your thumb and index finger
Do a big pinch
And pull

[hollow flower]

No where really yet I’m just looking around online and the most common price I found was 0.30-0.45 cents for one

[thick tartan]

ye u can be a little more lenient with stab keys

[tight pulsar]

i don't have caps on the board rn so i'm not really breaking them in rn

[queen sigil]

o

[rigid valve]

Bruh you don’t type capless

Weak

[tight pulsar]

have a bunch of switches i need to lube and feel lazy so might just have a friend do it

[glass bear]

It is very very messy

I'd post a picture but I think 90% of people would just reel over

[rigid valve]

Interesting

[hollow flower]

Would U4Ts be good without lubing them?

[rigid valve]

I thought bobas retailed for .55

[glass bear]

So much HAIR

[thick tartan]

its okay i have a jar of banana splits that need to be broken in and lubed

so

[rigid valve]

I guess “good” is subjective but they would probably be good imo

[glass bear]

Jar of switches

[hollow flower]

Oh I was talking about the millmax sockets when I mentioned the 0.30-0.45

[glass bear]

SHee

[rigid valve]

Oh lmao

Oops

[hollow flower]

Bobas I could get for just over 50 for 87 of em

[tight pulsar]

also here's millmax for cheapish https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mill-max-manufacturing-corp/0305-2-15-80-47-80-10-0/2639493

[timber ridge]

soldering those seem easier than soldering reg switches

unless you get short ones

[hollow flower]

Soldering reg switches are a joke

[rigid valve]

I thought the point of millmax was not soldering though

[tight pulsar]

oh yeah and i ordered my millmax sockets with a friend so we hit the 250 pricebreak

[rigid valve]

I get that you have to put them on and stuff

[hollow flower]

You have to solder the mill max sockets in

[glass bear]

How much is soldering iron

Do you guys like borrow one or something

[rigid valve]

Anywhere from 20 to 50

[glass bear]

oh I see

[rigid valve]

Up to like 250 or sum

[timber ridge]

yes lol

[hollow flower]

For a decent station with controllable temps you can get one for $50

[tight pulsar]

just trying to put switches in millmax vs normal solder pcb is way nicer for solder pcb lol

[hollow flower]

Basic 40 watt is maybe 10-15 for a usable one

I have some overkill soldering station I bought a while back but only because I solder almost on a daily basis

[glass bear]

dang

hopefully when I build one I can find a good hotswap one

Probably like a year out though I just got this keyboard

[timber ridge]

i have a kit coming in where i have to solder and im debating if i should go tje millmax route

[tight pulsar]

soldering isn't even bad

[timber ridge]

i still have to solder it

jus dont know if i should millmax or not

[hollow flower]

Personally I’m having doubts about millmax

[sharp kindle]

I’ve heard it’s just like through hole

[hollow flower]

I doubt I’d be switching switches that often to take advantage of it

[timber ridge]

from what i saw, you need to solder a thin layer at the base

unless there is a different method

[tight pulsar]

you barely use solder for millmax

[timber ridge]

yea its barely any

[hollow flower]

Too much solder and the socket is ruined

[rigid valve]

Yeh

[hollow flower]

If it flows into the hole at least

[tight pulsar]

also if y'all are in geon's server it's a great time somebody already tried to flip their frog

[rigid valve]

lmfao

[timber ridge]

if it flows in does it jus ruin the hotswap part of it or will it legit not work ?

[timber ridge]

ima check it rn lol

[thick tartan]

wats a frog

[tight pulsar]

it solders the switch to the socket

[rigid valve]

The only servers I’m in are hipyotech and owlabs

[sharp kindle]

Oooh

[rigid valve]

Frog TKL

Stupid popular

Sold out in under 30 seconds

[tight pulsar]

also the dude trying to flip it i sold stuff to

[hollow flower]

When installing them you put the sockets on the switch then push the switch into the PCB hole to make sure it’s level

[rigid valve]

Got banned from shoobs for saying “gay” unfortunately and Hamaji pings everyone too much

Glarses server I have yet to check out

[thick tartan]

lmfao

[hollow flower]

I think imma just buy the Bobas and solder them in and if I don’t like them just learn to like them

Lmfao

[rigid valve]

Lol

[hollow flower]

How do they compare to say the feel of a Kailh Box white?

Other than the click

I really liked the feel of the box whites when I tried them but hated the clicks

[sharp kindle]

Do you have a link to the message

[tight pulsar]

which one

[rigid valve]

I haven’t tried either and have limited experience with switches so take this with a saltshaker’s worth of salt
Bobas have heavier springs and a stronger tactile bump so they will overall feel more tactile to type on

[sharp kindle]

The guy flipping frog

[rigid valve]

Deadass buys a frog and then flips it like 2 hours later

hm do i need another frog

[rigid valve]

Yes

[timber ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb_HTATwaLY lmao

[rigid valve]

Whut

[tight pulsar]

see this is why u sell stuff to flippers

[steep pelican]

What is geon server

[rigid valve]

Geon is a designer iirc

[timber ridge]

yup

korean designer

[rigid valve]

Korean gang 😎

[sturdy sinew]

how long does it take for schiit to arrive? usually

[rigid valve]

Depends on where you are obviously. I’ve never ordered from them but would expect within 2 weeks

[sturdy sinew]

alright

Saving up for the schiit stack then Sundaras

[glass bear]

That song is fire

[west hornet]

For me took 1 week and that was from us west to east coast

[hollow flower]

Good choice, it really is the schiit

[rigid valve]

😉

[steep pelican]

Finally people talk in #peripherals-and-displays

[rigid valve]

lmao

[steep pelican]

This is the best channel in the server and it’s always dead

[rigid valve]

yep

[hollow flower]

What are some of the best plate mount stabs I could buy?

[rigid valve]

Durock/Everglide

often said to be the best

[gleaming matrix]

Anyone know any good headsets that are similar to the razer kraken TE? I got the hyperx Cloud 2 and the ear cups are just not as comfortable as the razer krakens TE

[rigid valve]

Cloud II is the good headset under like $120

[west hornet]

Step up from cloud is pc37x

[rigid valve]

yep

[gleaming matrix]

I have the clouds but ear cups are jus not as comfy as my old razer kraken 😦

[west hornet]

Strange, i havent use cloud but kraken te felt very hot and lopsided to me

[gleaming matrix]

Do the pc37x come with a all in one plug or is only the separate mic and headphone plugs?

[rigid valve]

I believe it’s a plug with a built-in y-splitter

[gleaming matrix]

is there a way to tell the difference from the reg pc37x and the revamped version?

[daring zenith]

It's separate

and wdym revamped

pc38x is the 'newer' pc37x

[rigid valve]

It’s also like $100 more

[daring zenith]

it's 120$ vs 180$ iirc

[rigid valve]

Oh

[daring zenith]

120$ vs 170$ it seems

[rigid valve]

I could swear 38 was like 200 240

My

Bad

Mb

[daring zenith]

nah
https://drop.com/buy/drop-sennheiser-pc38x-gaming-headset

[rigid valve]

Sorry mobile autocorrect mb to my

[gleaming matrix]

Is drop better than amazon prime?

[rigid valve]

You can’t get Pc37x/38x on Amazon

[daring zenith]

ya

It's drop+sennheiser partnership

[west hornet]

Its possible it might, drop is a bit weird with how they sell things and their pricing

[gleaming matrix]

I'm seeing it for 130$ on amazon rn

[daring zenith]

amazon pricing is wacky

pc37x is 120$ on drop

[gleaming matrix]

but i'm wondering if the pc38x is worth the extra 50$

[daring zenith]

got a dac?

[west hornet]

Ye so it is slightly cheaper on drop, if you are in no rush ive seen the 37x on sale for 90usd a few times near holidays

[daring zenith]

ya I got it for 90usd on sale

[gleaming matrix]

dac?

[rigid valve]

Dac

[daring zenith]

amp+dac

digital to analog converter

and amplifier

[gleaming matrix]

nope I just plug it into my front audio port on my pc lol

[daring zenith]

for close to 200$, I'd try to get pc37x+schiit fulla rather than just pc38x

[gleaming matrix]

https://www.amazon.com/Massdrop-Sennheiser-PC37X-Gaming-Headset/dp/B084GFGMYT

do I need an amp with those?

[daring zenith]

it's not need, it's very nice to have

source: I'm wearing one

[gleaming matrix]

I just game and listen to music and take calls for work, so idk anything about headsets. Not sure what an amp would for me

[daring zenith]

sound nicer

also amp makes it loud enough to be nice

onboard built in amp is pretty weak

pretty quiet when using onboard

[gleaming matrix]

Should I jus that pc37x that I post from amazon?

[daring zenith]

I would get it from drop :P

[gleaming matrix]

Is there a difference? On amazon I can get by tomorrow

[daring zenith]

10$ more

amazon also just seems annoying

[gleaming matrix]

same quality doh right?

[daring zenith]

Theoretically, but it was from drop, so I'm not sure why it's on amazon and not sold by drop..

[gleaming matrix]

Is there any real difference between the 37x and 38x?

[west hornet]

Drop has a amazon store

Yes there are a few differences with the 38χ bit of a higher class headphone all around in my eye but you have to look up reviews

Amazon could be good if you plan on using returns

[daring zenith]

ye but 'sold by amazon'

[west hornet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Haha @daring zenith i found ad for yamaha iem and when i click there is a theme xD https://jp.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/headphones/tw-e3b_al/index.html

[rigid valve]

cute

[gleaming matrix]

Seems like it's pretty difficult to tell if the 38x is worth the extra money lol

[daring zenith]

mmmmmmm

[daring zenith]

INVEST NOW

[west hornet]

Haha

[tight pulsar]

darn i should of picked those up instead

[gleaming matrix]

137$ btw converted from the yen

[thick tartan]

how good of a soundstage do these have tho

[daring zenith]

It doesn't matter

It's yuru camp

[thick tartan]

idk what this means

[steep pelican]

[last sandal]

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

[rigid valve]

what's up

[last sandal]

MY SCROLL MOUSE THING IS CONTROLING MY VOLUME

[rigid valve]

ok

[last sandal]

now i have to maually scroll

[rigid valve]

what mouse do you have

[last sandal]

idk

[rigid valve]

..

what?

[last sandal]

skytech or something?

[rigid valve]

i have no clue what that is

ur on ur own

[last sandal]

damn

[thick tartan]

the one day i was prepared to purchase my tofu

its sold out

reeeeeeee

[hollow flower]

My drop ENTR finally came in and so far im loving it

Ill probably replace the stabs and maybe the switches later down the line

[rigid valve]

nice

[red sail]

Can you still see it I deleted it

[rigid valve]

see what

[red sail]

The controller

[rigid valve]

nope

[red sail]

Ok thanks

Thoughts

[rigid valve]

idk anything about controllers
looks fine

[steep pelican]

Nah just go for the official one

Only 10 bucks more

[rigid valve]

so it can start drifting after 3 months lmao

[red sail]

I dont even play Pokémon but I love the look of this controller

[steep pelican]

No bro the Nintendo pro controllers are super solid

[red sail]

? Official one

[steep pelican]

I’ve had mine for over a year no problems

[rigid valve]

breh

what

[steep pelican]

That one is made by powerA

[steep pelican]

Not the joycons, those are garbage

[rigid valve]

mmm

yeah

for soe reason i was thinking of that skeletonized controller where you put the joyucons on it

[red sail]

Can you send a link to the official ones please

[steep pelican]

https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Pro-Controller/dp/B01NAWKYZ0/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=pro+controller+switch&qid=1625092997&sprefix=pro+contr&sr=8-3

You can put skins on them for pretty cheap too

[red sail]

Ok

[steep pelican]

I got that Linus tech tips x Dbrand collab skin

[red sail]

How do you get skins?

[steep pelican]

Dbrand sells a bunch of basic ones that are really nice, and other companies sell them too

[red sail]

Ok thanks

[steep pelican]

I’ve tried the powerA controller and the main gripes I have with it is cheap feel, really light, weird back buttons that aren’t useful, cheap and bad feeling triggers and buttons, and non rechargeable battery, they just take double A batteries

[timber ridge]

i have an amazon knockoff and its working perfectly fine

[steep pelican]

They work fine I just find the official one worth it

Much more comfortable

[timber ridge]

yea its all preference

theres a bunch of dif clone shapes too

[red sail]

I bought the official one already thanks for the advice @steep pelican

Coming July 2

The skins all looked bad tho

[solar raft]

Is the Kraken X headset any good?

[red sail]

Eh

Better then turtle Beach

[thick tartan]

i wouldnt buy either lol

[solar raft]

Figured so lmao

Do you guys recommend a headset? I’ve got a cheaper one from HyperX and it’s ok but I feel like it doesn’t do well with directional audio

I’d like for it to have mic in with it though

[red sail]

The razer one that's metal

It's like 60 or 70

[solar raft]

Never owned anything razer but man I heard so many mixed reviews from them lol

Like, you either love it or hate it

[red sail]

It's 35 dollars off on best buy

[queen sigil]

no

[queen sigil]

yeah i mean depends who ur asking

asking ur average gamer they probsg wouldnt care and say yes as long as its easy to use

asking an audiophile they would probs say its good of its good quality

[solar raft]

yeah, I’m a little lost on what headset to go with. I’ve got next to no room on my desk, so I’d prefer to get a headset with mic. I know I could get mic stand but that’s more money lol

So would HyperX be best headphone ~$100-150?

[west hornet]

Audio quality wise no razer in general is pretty bad. Unfortunately there are not a whole lot of headphones I’d recommend in the price range of under 100usd but there are some great on ears and iems lol

For 100-150 pc37x or the 38x if stretch budget is say prob

[timber ridge]

koss gmr

[solar raft]

I’d like something with decent directional audio because the ones I own now, I can’t really pinpoint which direction steps/guns are coming from, and that’s detrimental in games like Tarkov where you need that

I mean these are okay but not good if that makes sense

They’re also kind of starting to have a crackle at times and they’re not even a year old yet, maybe 6mos

[west hornet]

Which do you have rn?

[solar raft]

https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Cloud-Stinger-Comfortable-Noise-Cancellation/dp/B01L2ZRYVE/ref=asc_df_B01L2ZRYVE/?

I think these

[west hornet]

Ow the stinger

[solar raft]

Yee

Can’t hear myself talk in them either and that’s a weird feeling

[west hornet]

Maybe you want pc37x or 38x then depending on budget. Good headset and is open back so it should hear your voice more normal

[solar raft]

Hmmm, okay I’ll look into that then. Thanks!

@west hornet dt 990 pro or pc37x?

[timber ridge]

skip 990s

[solar raft]

Gotcha

[timber ridge]

theyre all hype

[hollow flower]

Any point in replacing the springs in Halo trues or should I just buy bobas

[timber ridge]

do you already have the halo trues?

[hollow flower]

Yep

They’re the only thing I don’t like in my drop ENTR other than the stabs

[timber ridge]

what do you not like about them ?

[west hornet]

990 pro for select few and you really need to try them before purchase

[rigid valve]

770 880 990 all good imo

Just depends on the user

[timber ridge]

dt880s really the only option

akg stomps in close back budget options

[rigid valve]

Arent 990s openbacks

[timber ridge]

990s treble are insane and the rest of it is meh

only 770s are closeback

880s is like a semi, but basically open

[snow briar]

Personally love my 990s but yeah the treble is intense.

And yeah the 990s are openbacks personally get headaches from closed backs

[west hornet]

After going open i hate closed because way you hear voice xD now i only use closed for travel

[rigid valve]

Mmmmm

Day 3 of waitin for K371 sale

BRUH THEY JUMPED TO 155 AGAIN

[gleaming matrix]

I honestly couldn't decide whether to buy the 38x or the 37x

[steep pelican]

Idk maybe just save the money and get 37x and a dac

[timber ridge]

if you dont need the dac then dont get it

save yourself from falling into the rabbit hole
